Is vegan the new black?
By now, it should not be breaking news: Plant-based food has boomed during the pandemic and it is going to continue in its steep growth in the months and years to come. This ‘vegan trend’ is strictly linked to the rising environmental concerns and an increased awareness about the animals’ wellbeing, especially among the younger generations. In such historical moment, more and more individuals and legal entities (NGOs, companies, even multinationals) are coming to the same conclusion: “Might it be time to elevate our events by offering vegan catering options? And in this case, which one should you choose?”.
For companies

- You’re holding a formal meeting with limited space and no dishware/cutlery availability.

- You need a small goodbye/greeting style buffet at the exit of a conference/event your company is holding (not over lunch or dinner time).
IDEAL SOLUTION:
Finger food only (several options between savoury and sweet)WHY:
- No to minimal (napkins) tableware required.
